The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 is packed with top-tier specs, featuring a 16" 2560x1600 240Hz OLED display, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and 2TB (2x1TB) of SSD storage. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX significantly outperforms the previous generation's Core Ultra 9 185H, which prioritized energy efficiency over raw power. This new processor is a true successor to the i9-14900HX and perfectly complements the GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU.

The Legion Pro 7i also comes with the latest connectivity options, including WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, USB Type-C with up to 140W of Power Delivery, Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 2.1 (40Gbps), and a USB Type-A port with USB 3.2 Gen 2. It retains the increasingly rare RJ45 ethernet port and includes a privacy shutter for the webcam. The laptop's chassis, made of aluminum and magnesium, ensures durability and a premium feel.

We've reviewed an RTX 5080 equipped gaming laptop

Although we haven't yet tested Lenovo's newest generation Legion laptop, we have reviewed a gaming laptop equipped with the RTX 5080 GPU. The RTX 5080 offers only a slight edge over the RTX 4080 in raw rasterized performance but significantly excels when games support DLSS 4.0 with multi-frame generation. The Gigabyte Aorus Master laptop, equipped with an RTX 5080 with a 150W TGP rating and a 2560x1600 display, provides a good benchmark for the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, which shares the same TGP rating and resolution display, suggesting comparable gaming performance.

Gigabyte Aorus Master 16" RTX 5080 Laptop Review by Chris Coke

"Nvidia has been vocal about integrating AI capabilities into its 50-series GPUs, rather than focusing solely on native rendering performance. While the RTX 5080's performance is disappointingly close to that of the RTX 4080, this gap narrows significantly when playing games that support multi-frame generation. Although 'fake frames' have become a meme, their impact can be impressive, dramatically enhancing performance when implemented well. However, the effectiveness can vary between games; for instance, Alan Wake 2 may feel laggy at higher multiplier settings, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 does not. With future technologies like neural shaders on the horizon, investing in these new GPUs is a bet on future game support and enhancements. You're essentially buying into a promise as Nvidia and game developers work to integrate these features into new and existing titles."
